According to CB sources, Das had taken Rs 10 lakh from Mohinidhar Patnaik of Bhubaneswar for providing him land. But Das neither handed over the land nor returned the money, following which Patnaik lodged an FIR and also made a representation before the Lokpal.

In 2012, the Lokpal handed over the case to CB. In the meantime, Das managed to contest for the Cuttack Municipal Corporation election as an independent candidate and even won.
